In a Dutch oven, cook the meat, water, and salt at medium-low until meat is tender, about 2 hrs. Transfer to a plate. Shred meat and set aside.

2

In a skillet, heat oil at medium heat. Saute pepper, onion, and pimientos for 1-2 min. Add garlic for 30 sec. Add wine, tomato sauce, and spices. Cook for 15-20 min, stirring occasionally.

Add shredded meat to the skillet and stir to combine with sauce. Cover and cook on low for about 10-15 min, stirring occasionally, without letting it dry out. Remove bay leaf and serve.

I love to serve Ropa Vieja over white rice with sweet plantains but you can enjoy it in sliders, tortillas or with congri/moros.
